Former Chiefs and Cardinals QB Brodie Croyle has retired from football.

A strong-armed former third-round pick out of Alabama, Croyle lasted just five seasons in the league due largely to poor accuracy and decision making. He was also chronically injury prone and never showed the ability to consistently move an offense. At age 29, Croyle's career ends with a 0-10 record and 8:9 TD-to-INT ratio. Croyle is now pursuing his real estate license. Tue, May 22, 2012 02:56:00 PM

Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio reported on Football Night in America that the Texans will likely sign free agent Brodie Croyle this week to be their No. 3 quarterback for the stretch run.

Florio also reported that the Texans will likely roll with rookie T.J. Yates in the starting role for the rest of the season. Croyle would add a veteran presence on the roster, and perhaps push Kellen Clemens to hold the clipboard for Yates. Florio reiterated that Brett Favre almost certainly isn't coming out of retirement. He hasn't thrown a football since November 4. Sun, Nov 27, 2011 11:34:00 PM

The Colts will work out free agent quarterbacks Brodie Croyle and Dan Orlovsky on Tuesday.

These two street free agents are getting a look because of Kerry Collins' likely concussion. They would not be threats to replace Curtis Painter as the likely starter going forward. Orlovsky may have a leg up, as he spent training camp with the Colts this season before being released at final cuts. Tue, Sep 27, 2011 12:22:00 PM

The Dolphins also worked out free agent G Reggie Wells and free agent TE Jeff Dugan. Miami currently only has Matt Moore behind Chad Henne at quarterback, so a contract could be coming Croyle's way if he looked impressive at all during his workout. A third-round pick of the Chiefs in 2006, Croyle is 181-of-319 for 1,669 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions over parts of 18 games in his career. He was one of the Cardinals' final cuts earlier this month. Mon, Sep 12, 2011 01:32:00 PM

David Johnson rushed 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown while catching 9-of-12 targets for 91 yards and another score in the Cardinals' Week 13 win over the Redskins.

There is not much left to say about David Johnson. A dominant force both on the ground and through the air, Johnson put the offense on his back against Washington. He opened the scoring with a short touchdown after a strong opening drive, consistently moved the chains with big catches in the passing game, and scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 25-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He also converted a late fourth down with a big run. The fact these games have become almost expected speaks to how spectacular Johnson has been all season. He is the overall RB1 every week.

Johnson underwent sports hernia surgery after injuring his groin in Week 4. The Cardinals declined to make him their designated player to return, instead choosing CB Tyvon Branch. Johnson has had his last two seasons cut short due to injuries but still feels he has something to offer. The 31-year-old is headed for free agency.

It's his first practice since going down in Week 5. Coach Bruce Arians said Iupati "looked good" and is trending toward playing. Barring any setbacks, Iupati should return for Sunday night's game against Seattle.
